    the good news: it's available on vinyl! but these stereo lathe cut LPs are expensive. they're custom made to order, one at a time. they look and sound great! (note: foreign shipping limited to 2 records. contact us if you'd like to order more. US orders ship for a flat $5 for as many LPs as you'd like to order). shipping time depends on how quickly we get them from the lathe cutter, but it's usually a week to 10 days, then we'd ship it out to you. or order directly here kunaki.com/VinylRecord.asp?ProductId=PX00P45IZ1

about

written in the mid-1990s for Purple Ivy Shadows but only made it as far as being demoed. recorded for 'Merican Recordings in hopes of giving it its first life on an album, but wasn't included in the original version of the album. so not it gets its first real appearance.

lyrics

how soon 'til

how soon 'til the colors
comes back into your face, how soon?
we're all hurtin'
it's a sight for sore eyes, still
before we're brought to tears
could you please keep it down

could you please keep it down
that cartoon got that funny
could you please keep it down
that cartoon can't be that funny

give it ten years and there
should be an easier way of
of dealing with it all
after the tower's been torn down

could you please keep it down
that cartoon got that funny
could you please keep it down
that cartoon can't be that funny

it's easier to find
colors, how soon
it's easier to find
colors, how soon
